Hi Edward,

I'm sorry you have problems with the repo.

Is it slow is it too much data? One only needs the trunk ... no branches 
or tags ... I have absolutely no performance probs here. Why do you need 
to mirror the whole repo?

Martin committed a lot of things into a branch called eclimplugin. 

Martin, could you explain your plan to us, and perhaps figure out a 
better way? 

In general I would suggest to 1) do some local experiments and 2) publish 
a working prototype to a private website and 3) ask the other developers 
whether or how it could be merged into the main trunk...  (perhaps it's 
worth a new project ..)
 
Would it perhaps be clever to develop some "social rules" how we want to 
run the project? Any proposals?

Sebastian.
